SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,952, dated December 12, 1882. Application filed March 15, 1882. (No mddel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH SIMPSON, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Brackets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying draw.- ings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention has for its object to provide an improved bracket, which may be employed to support a lamp, a suspended flower-basket, or other article, as more fully hereinafterspeci' tied. This object I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved bracket complete, with the lampholding ring or basket; Fig. 2, a vertical sectional view of the bracket-support and matchbox; and Fig. 3, a perspective view of a flowerpot holder or ring detached, which is adapted to be eniployedin connection with myimproved bracket.

The letterAindicates my improved bracket, which is provided at one end with a pintle,B, adapted to set in suitable bearings, O, in the support D, which may be attached to a wall by means of screws or otherwise. The free end of the bracket is curved upward,as shown,

forming a hook to which thering or basket D may be attached, the bracket being provided with lugs F on each side to support the.

ring or basket.

The letter G indicates a hook formed on the bracket, from which may be suspended. a flowerbasket or other article. i

The bracket-support is made of cast metal,

with a receptacle, H, for matches, and with 0 bearings for the pintle of the bracket.

It will be perceived that the bracket asthus constructed is adapted to hold aring or basket for a lamp, or a support for a flower-pot or other article, and that it may also be employed The ring or basket is provided with a lug,

L, which is formed with a suitable aperture in order that'it may be attached to the hooked or curved end of the bracket, as indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In combination with the supportD, provided with pintle-bearings O O G, constructed as described, the bracket A, having a pintle, B, adapted to set in said pintle -bearings, and provided with hooks at the ends, and with lugs at each side, adapted to support the rings and baskets, substantially as herein specified.
